PlayStation3 system is now $299

The new PS3 Slim is now available and Sony has dropped the price to a more affordable $299. I've owned a PS3 for almost two years now and can say that it has been worth every penny of the $399 I had to pay for it. However, I use it more for its Blu-ray and media server capabilities than I do for games. If you're not interested in all of the media features and the games you want to play are available on other systems, then I would recommend buying a Wii or Xbox and save yourself some money. Also, the backward compatibly feature is still not available. Only the first generation PS3's with the media card reader support this.    

Here is a list of some of the big changes made to the Slim:

• The "Install other OS" feature has been removed. So you can't install Linux. 
• The power and eject switches on the front are now physical buttons that you press.
• The hard drive has been relocated to the front and can be removed easily so you can upgrade your drive without voiding the warranty.
• There is no power switch in the back.
• Upgraded 128GB hard drive
